What is supposed to be the threshold for the unit to turn back on? I set the temperature to 72 degrees but room reaches 70 and never got back on during the entire night. Did I get a faulty unit?

No this is how the heater operates. Mine does the same thing.1) If set at 72F, it will heat up to 73, then stop. (It's still powered on, just not heating).2) The room drops to 71F. 3) Then once the display drops to 70F, the heater restarts.4) Repeat cycle.This cycle can take a long time for a larger room like a bedroom. It's a good design because limiting the ON/OFF cycles for heaters extends their life.Refer to the similar Question 1 for a similar response.

Mine has run at 60 degrees F with no problems. At temperatures below 64 it will go into periodic defrost mode which will prevent freeze-up. The operator's manual states that the unit will operate in temps down to 41 F. The manual says if the room temp remains below 41 F, the machine should be switched off.

Hi -the light will come on when the heater senses the water temperature as less than what you have set the heater for. So if you set the heater for 77, and the water is 78 then the light will not go on. Check the water temp. You might also have a detective one, but mine works great.

The temp range is maybe 70F-140F degrees on the thermostat ... There is NO an on/off setting. This unit is in my attic and I haven't been up there in a while-- so those temp ranges are just a guess. Thanks!

Just my assessment from here...Make sure reservoir is full, inserted onto unit, turn on with remote, and double check the humidity setting. If the setting is too low, it will not come on. Humidity setting should be set at higher level than the humidity level in the room. Just my 2 cents.

well it all depends how big is your room and how cold is outside! mine works perfectly and the temperature changes constantly. your's might be defective too!

I have incurred the same issue. What has worked for me is before turning unit on, make sure the heater and temp control are off. Once the fan starts moving, then turn on the heat and temp.

Hit reset button. Turn off unit for about 30 minutes and when you turn it back on make sure it is on the low (I) setting and that its not set beyond the medium mark on the temperature gauge. It should work. I have had several units and threw one away only to later discover that doing the above steps work.

Mine has never got too hot. It cycles on and off depending upon the temperature setting. I set mine on 70 degrees and leave it there. When room temperature reaches 70 it shuts off - first the heat and then the fan after it cools a bit. Works just like your whole house thermostat.

I found I had to set the temperature a few degrees higher for it to come on. I believe this is because the sensor/antenna is close to the wall. I am trying to remember how the programming works. I just have mine set at 72 round the clock. I will check when back home. But I love this unit! Nice steady heat and electric bill did not go up.

This unit has a thermostat for the 59°-86° range. If you set the thermostat to only 60 degrees, the unit will not blow warm air. if the room temp is already higher than the 60 degrees. Might want to set it initially for 86 degrees. The Unit will take several minutes the first time you use it. Then try setting it for mid-70 or higher. Good luck.

Hi, Mine first did that when it was first installed. The temp was set to high. I unplugged the unit and not turn it back on until the next morning and it has been great since then.

Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced

Ours works perfectly. We love it. We turn it on about 30 to 45 minutes before getting in bed and it is toasty.

I think when you turned it on it is just in stand by mode there is 2 power buttons 1 is on the back and 1 is on the front when you do get good power to the unit then you go up with the temp to about 76 to 78 just to see if it heats and cycles off i hope i am informing you right I do love both of my units I wish you well

If the unit is still running after it has met the desired temp that it has been set to then you may need to exchange the unit. I would call technical support for further details for troubleshooting options.

I keep my unit set at 68--it will cycle off and on. I also turn it on only when I use the room it is in....either way it cycles off and on--call warenty service!
